Calling it unfair — and fearing a loss of business — the state’s solar industry called on Gov. Jan Brewer on June 4 to overrule a decision by her Department of Revenue that the rooftop panels they lease are taxable.

Gov. Jan Brewer’s agenda in her final regular legislative session lacked the blockbuster policies, drag-out fights and frayed nerves of 2013.

Relatively small spending increases in a few key areas, two low-profile economic development bills and legislation strengthening the state’s human trafficking laws were among the biggest policies she pursued.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is expected to outline her administration's proposal to overhaul the state child welfare agency Thursday and call the Legislature into special session to debate the proposal early next week.
